A nice feature, causing problems
A feature that I found out about with my provider is the use of virtual-machine-sub-domains or whatever it’s really called. Basically, for every folder that I have on gravitystorm, I can use that as a machine name, so http://weblog.gravitystorm.co.uk will point to the weblog, which is actually at www.gravitystorm.co.uk/weblog/. Neat, huh?
The only problem being that it screws up all my links, since I used relative urls around the site out of lazyness. Since I’ve said everywhere that my dvds are at href=”/dvd/”, it ends up looking for weblog.gravitystorm.co.uk/dvd/, which is www.gravitystorm.co.uk/weblog/dvd/, which doesn’t exist.
If you went HUH? to the last paragraph, then fine. If you understood it, then you’ve been writing too many webpages.
